This image shows two sides of an ancient coin, likely a Byzantine coin based on its style and symbols.

• Left side (obverse): This face features the faint image of a figure, possibly an emperor or religious icon, surrounded by inscriptions or a decorative border. Due to wear, the details are quite eroded, making identification difficult.

• Right side (reverse): This side displays a large "M" in the center, a common mark on Byzantine folles (copper coins), representing the denomination "40 nummi." Surrounding the "M" are smaller inscriptions, including crosses and additional lettering or numbers. At the bottom, there is a line and further text, perhaps indicating the mint or city where the coin was produced.

The coin has a worn, corroded appearance, suggesting it is very old, with orange-brown and dark-toned patina indicative of copper or bronze composition. The scale on the right provides measurements in centimeters for reference.

The image features two sides of an ancient coin with a dark background. On the left side, the coin shows a worn and corroded surface with an indistinct depiction of a figure wearing what appears to be a crown or a headdress, likely representing a portrait of an emperor or another notable figure. The design is surrounded by unreadable inscriptions that are likely in Greek or Latin letters.

On the right side, the coin displays a clearer image with the large Greek letter "M" in the center, which is a numeral representing the number 40, used in the Byzantine Empire to denote 40 nummi, or a follis. The letter is flanked by the symbols "AN" on the left and "XIIII" on the right, possibly indicating regnal years or mintmarks. Below the "M," there is another level of inscriptions. The letters "THЄUP?" are partially visible at the bottom. This side of the coin is better preserved, making the symbols and inscription more discernible. There is also a scale in centimeters to the right.
